Usage in battles
In air battles, like the Su-17, the Su-22M3's usage and capabilities are heavily dependent on how well you can use the variable sweep to your advantage. With the wings fully swept, its performance at low speeds can become extremely sluggish, making you an easy target for any fighter that finds you at slow speeds. However, with the wing unswept and with awareness of your speed, altitude, and enemy presence, you can dominate any sustained fights. It is best to start out your match by attacking bombing bases, then after all you bombs are dropped head into direction of the enemy teams base at low altitudes and avoid head-ons. Try to drag fighters away from the group.
On 1v1s against F-4s, JA37s, and MiG-21MFs, attempt to drag them into lower speeds where you can fully unsweep your wings and use your better low speed turning against them. With fighters that are better in turns with energy such as Mirages, JA35Ds, and F-5Cs, slowly take away their energy and altitude, making them easy targets to clean up . Your upgraded engine over the Su-17's will allow you to escape from any attempts these fighters attempt to make with you. It is not recommended to turn-fight F-5Es and is best to slowly drain their speed and never attempt to turn with them.
Always be mindful of your speed and sweep angle as many pilots will find that their plane can become either very sluggish at full sweep angles or be very slow with unswept angles. NEVER attempt to take on coordinated groups as your r60s and guns can be quickly drained and get you set up for a bait. It is strongly recommended to play in coordination with other players to set up baits and assists to drastically increase your chances of survival. going to high alts is unadvised and with your low flare and chaff count, you will be quickly dispatched by radar guided missiles.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High max speed and climb rate
- Numerous weapon loadout presets
- Brilliant selection of guided weapons to hit ground targets
- Variable sweep wing
- Brilliant S-25L laser-guided missiles
- Excellent maneuverability with wings at minimum sweep
- High energy retention in swept wings and high energy bleed rate with minimum sweep wings
Cons:
- Huge target
- Somewhat sluggish at near stall speeds
- Becomes very sluggish with fully swept wings and has a very low max speed with non-swept wings
- Lacks radar
- Lacks any long range Air to Air missiles
- Requires the near constant use of manual wing sweep in combat
- Very low flare count requires sparing use
History
The Su-22M3 is one of the variants of the Su-17 strike aircraft series designed for export. A distinctive feature of the project was the adaptation of the Su-17M3 airframe for the installation of the Tumansky R-29BS-300 engine, similar to the exported MiG-23’s R-29-300. It was assumed that the engine, familiar to foreign operators, would simplify the service and operation of the aircraft. Unlike the earlier simplified commercial versions, the Su-22M3 modification had avionics completely unified with the Su-17M3. The machine was produced in 1982-83 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, a total of 70 Su-22M3 units were built. These fighter-bombers were delivered to Hungary, Syria, and Iraq.
